The base or base number when dealing with percentages is the number on which the calculations are based.
EXAMPLE : What is 12% of 87? Then 87 is the base number.
Express 42 as a percentage of 59. Then 59 is the base number.
7.32% of 320 = 23.424
Multiply whatever the base salary is by 1.12
Percentage = Base x RateGiven:Percentage = 45 ; Base = 500Solution45 = 500 x Rate45/ 500 = Rate0.09 = RateNote: To convert it to percent, you'll just move 2 decimal places to the right. Therefore the answer is 9%.
To find the number, you would divide 150 by 0.30 (which is 30% as a decimal). This calculation is done by dividing 150 by 0.30, resulting in 500. Therefore, 30% of 500 is 150.
Base = 70 Percentage = 42 Rate = 60% or 0.6 Base = Percentage/Rate = 42/0.6 = 70
Part = Base*Percent/100Proportion = Part/Base = (Base*Percent/100)*Base = Percent/100.

30 percent of gum base
base = 260 base = percentage/ rate = 65/0.25 = 260
22 percent of 268.18 is 59. Given: Percentage = 59 ; Rate = 22% Find: Base Formula: Base = Percentage/Rate Solution: Base = 59/22% = 59/0.22 = 268.18

percent of base
7.32% of 320 = 23.424
16 is 8 percent of 200. Given: Percentage = 16 ; Rate = 8% Find: Base Formula: Base = Percentage/Rate Solution: Base = 16/8% = 16/0.08 = 200
Percent change represents a change as a portion or a multiplier of the base number. So if you start with n=10 and end up with m=15, your percent change is the difference (5) divided by the base (10), which is 0.5, or 50%. When your base gets really, really small (close to zero), your percent change gets really, really large (in mathematical terms, it approaches infinity). When your base is actually zero, the percent change has no meaning, since there is no such thing as a portion (or a multiplier) of nothing.
625 = 12.5%100 / 12.5 = 8625 x 8 = 5000
60% Percentage = 90 Base = 150 Formula: Rate = Percentage/Base * 100% Rate = 90/150 * 100% = 0.6 * 100% = 60%
